i think that that is the point of the article - mr gorman is 'the one' ;) he mapped something that those who put it together hoped was unmappable. now it seems that they are blaming their incompetance on his skills. could his work be used to better our 'critical' infrastructure? sure. could it be used to render it useless? probably. will it be used to fix things? doubtful. if the ministry of homeland secrecy sucedes in getting it classified, it will sit in a locked buliding somewhere, while another enterprising individual or group uses the same tools that mr gorman used...but whom will they be showing it to? /joshua Adam Kujawski <[email protected]> wrote: > > NANOG's Sean Gorman is in the news: > > http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A23689-2003Jul7.html > > I would find GIS like the one described *very* usefull in finding transport > providers.
